the scout ship where he got the first one was never destroyed, only damaged, and was laying in the rubble of Metropolis... no doubt Superman picked it up and is keeping it hidden from surveillance

I hope so...but I was thinking last night that I'd love to see him use a cave in the side of a mountain that no man can get to as his new Fortress of Solitude. I mean like a HUGE cave so he can store the scout ship and other articles he collects over the years...and even carve the famous statue of his parents. I think that would be cool

Only improvement the suit needs is a mute button for all those still complaining about the trunks.

Best answer. Though, I wouldn't mind it if somehow the narrative requires Clark to fit his suit with armor, a la Jor-El before he took on Zod and his minions. The reason would have to be a significant enough to answer any question of why the Man of Steel would don his father's Kryptonian armor though, and the only ones I personally can think of is when either Doomsday or Darkseid show up.

The only...barely acceptable reason I could think of, is if it somehow was a barrier to kryptonite, but still not buying it.

I am, Superman wears an exo suit on several occasions. In WF animated he wore a suit that protected him against Joker's Kryptonite. It's possible something like will happen, even just for some added protection or style i would like something like Jor El's armor. Maybe a ceremonial thing when JLA is funded.

Btw : the suits the Kryptonian astronauts wore looked very similar to most of Lex's suits.
